Common Types of Toilet Leaks We Repair
Often, the cause of a leaking toilet isn't immediately obvious, as various components can fail over time. At Eco Earth Plumbing, we've seen and fixed every kind of toilet leak possible across the Sunshine Coast.
Here are the most common types of toilet repairs we handle, helping you understand what might be happening with your toilet system.
Toilet Leaking or Dripping into the Bowl
Whether it's a slow, steady drip into the bowl or a constant trickle, this is one of the most common toilet leak repair issues we fix. A leaking toilet isn’t just a waste of water, it’ll drive up your water bills pretty quickly!
Signs you might have water leaking into your toilet bowl include:
βΌοΈ Ghost Flushing
Your toilet seems to flush itself briefly, or you hear the tank refilling at odd times.
βΌοΈ Constant Trickling Sound
A faint but persistent sound of water moving or dripping inside the toilet bowl.
βΌοΈ Staining in the Bowl
You might notice rust or mineral stains appearing more quickly below the waterline, indicating consistent water flow.
βΌοΈ Higher Water Bills
Even a slow water leak into the toilet bowl can add up to hundreds of litres of wasted water per day, leading to a noticeable increase in your water bills!
Our experienced toilet plumbers can quickly diagnose the exact cause of your dripping toilet and provide efficient toilet repairs often by replacing worn parts.
π Eco Earth Plumbing is here to provide prompt and effective leaking toilet repairs to get your toilet operating silently and efficiently again!
Toilet Leaking at the Base
Water leaking from the base of your toilet isn’t simply an annoying puddle, it can cause damage to your bathroom floor, sub floor, and even structurally due to hidden water damage and mould growth.
Common reasons for water pooling around the bottom of your toilet include:
π Worn or Damaged Wax Ring
This is the most common culprit. The wax ring that creates a watertight seal between the toilet and the drainpipe. When this seal is broken, water will leak out.
π Loose Toilet Bolts
The bolts that secure your toilet to the floor can loosen over time. If the toilet isn't firmly secure, it can rock slightly, breaking the wax seal and causing a leak.
π Cracked Toilet Bowl or Base
A hairline crack in the porcelain of the toilet bowl or the base itself can cause water to slowly escape. This can often result in a completely broken toilet that requires replacement.
π Toilet Condensation
When it’s humid, cold water in the toilet tank and bowl can cause condensation to form on the outside. This moisture can then drip down and collect around the base, which looks like a leak. Although not a “leak” per sé, this still needs to be stopped.
π Loose Water Supply Line or Valve
Sometimes, the water you see at the base isn't coming from the toilet itself but from a loose connection at the water supply line or the shut off valve behind the toilet.
π± Ignoring a leaking toilet can lead to expensive repairs down the line, including damaged flooring, rotting joists, and even hidden mould growth. π±
Our expert toilet plumbers at Eco Earth Plumbing specialise in finding the exact source of your issue and ensuring precise, lasting repair for yourtoilet leak. We'll make sure your toilet is properly sealed and stable, protecting your bathroom and giving you peace of mind.
Toilet That Keeps Running
A running toilet means it is constantly trying to refill its tank, even when it hasn't been flushed. This isn't just annoying; a toilet that keeps running can add hundreds, even thousands, of litres to your water bill every month!
Reasons why your toilet might be running include:
β Faulty Flapper Valve
The most common cause; a worn or stiff rubber seal allows water to leak into the toilet bowl, triggering constant refills.
β Fill Valve Too High or Fill Valve Leaking
The valve controlling water intake might be set too high or simply isn't shutting off properly causing it to leak.
β Too Much Water in the Tank
If the water level in your tank is too high, it will continuously spill into the overflow tube. This usually means an issue with the fill valve's adjustment or a broken float.
β Leaky Overflow Tube
A crack or small hole in the overflow tube can also cause water levels to drop, letting the fill valve keep refilling.
β Worn or Damaged Tank Components
Other internal parts or a leaking cistern can also cause water levels to drop, leading to refills.
Our expert toilet plumbers at Eco Earth are highly experienced in quickly diagnosing and providing running toilet repair. Don't let your money go down the drain, call us to fix your running toilet today!
Toilet Cistern Leaking
Ignoring a leaking toilet cistern can lead to significant water waste and potential water damage behind your toilet or to your walls and flooring.
Signs of a leaking toilet cistern include:
βΌοΈ Visible Drips or Cracks in Cistern
Water may be visibly seeping from the tank's exterior, especially from connections or hairline cracks. You might notice toilet leaking from pipe at back or a general dampness.
βΌοΈ Water on the Floor Behind the Toilet
Puddles forming at the back of the toilet, not necessarily from the base, often point to a cistern issue, possibly a leak from pipe at back of toilet.
βΌοΈ Constant Refilling Sound
If the bowl isn't constantly dripping but the cistern frequently refills, it indicates water is escaping the tank elsewhere.
βΌοΈ Overflowing Cistern
Water spilling out over the top of the tank, usually due to a faulty fill valve or float mechanism.
Our skilled toilet plumbers are experts at fixing toilet cisterns and can quickly pinpoint the exact cause of your toilet cistern leaking into bowl or anywhere else, whether it requires a toilet cistern sealant application, a toilet rubber seal replacement, or a complete toilet cistern repair.
